- Measure 1/4 cup (20g) of multi-grain oatmeal.
- Measure 1 tablespoon (16g) of peanut butter.

- Finally, add the scoop of whey protein powder.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This may take about 1-2 minutes depending on the strength of your blender.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more coconut milk or water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you would like it sweeter, you can add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or a couple of dates and blend again.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can add a few ice cubes and blend until smooth.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- You can garnish with a sprinkle of oatmeal or a slice of banana on the side of the glass for presentation.

Tips:
- For added creaminess and a cold, refreshing texture, use a frozen banana.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more coconut milk or a splash of water.
- Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutritional boost.
- Blend the oatmeal first to ensure it’s finely ground, which will create a smoother texture for your smoothie.
- Taste the smoothie before adding the protein powder to adjust sweetness levels; add a touch of honey or a medjool date if needed.
